The 2011 Hyundai Tournament of Champions 6-Pack

Welcome back, ladies and gentleman, to the initial tournament of the 2011 PGA Tour season.  This year’s field is interesting to say the least.  It should come as absolutely no surprise that Geoff Ogilvy is the clear favorite to win at 7:1 odds.  Right behind him is the unbelievably impressive Ernie Els who really had a great bounce-back year in 2010, earning just over $4.5 million.
